cameroncrazy1984:Why would Obama wait until his second term to start shenanigans? It's built into his programming or something?

That's one of the easiest logical corners you can back conservatives into - if Obama is such a tyrant why would he submit himself to a re-election campaign at all? If he is this despot that's going to send you to a FEMA concentration camp, take your guns and force you to take it up the butt...why would he go through a second election? That's awfully Democratic for an alleged despot.

Jokes on the writer for writing the article, or breathing for that matter, but technically, 21st is just the formal ceremony. Due to being on a Sunday (I think there is this special rule if 20th is Sunday), he will be sworn in on the 20th in a private session, and 21st will be the public ceremony for it.

These idiots haven't believed he was a legitimate president for the past 4 years. Why would they change their opinion now?

I would honestly be surprised if the Republican House doesn't react the same way they did when Clinton was re-elected, and start impeachment proceedings over some trumped-up offense.

There are no sorer losers on the planet than Republicans. When Democrats lose (2000, 2004) they get depressed, make idle threats to move to Canada, and then figure out how they can adjust their message, positions, and organization to do better in the future. When Republicans lose, they throw a temper-tantrum that any 3-year-old would envy, and then double-down on the same extremist derp that caused moderate voters to reject them in the first place.

You mean that the people who ignored all signs to the contrary and deluded themselves into thinking Willard stood a snowball's chance in hell of becoming president are still in denial? Who'd have guessed?

mayIFark:WSUCanuck: Joke's on the writer, Inauguration is January 21st!

That makes perfect sense, why hold the inauguration on a weekend when you can do it on a Monday and mess with everyone's commute in DC!

Well, sounds like we need to completely overhaul our election process at the federal level, from the richest districts to the poorest, let's ensure that all American voters are voting on the latest, high-tech equipment, equipped with verifiable paper ballots so we can double check all votes cast, if needed, and run random checks, as a matter of course. Let's pay and train our poll workers so that they are able to operate all those high-tech machines, smoothly and quickly. Let's make sure all election equipment has been verified by independent experts to be unhackable. I'm sure the Republicans will be totally on board with that, right?

Throw in a side of a new TSA type department to "keep the peace" and I guarantee they will go for it.

HAHA, he links to an article stating that there were 0 votes for Romney in 59 districts as a point of fraud. Article he linked to was pretty decent, they actually visited dozens of homes listed as Republican in those districts (there were literally only a dozen homes registered as Republican). Each one either had moved away or stated they voted for Obama.

Republicans will support such a measure, so long as the legislation allows for a staggered deployment, allows for initial deployment in Republican leaning areas, and can be repealed before the deployment has completed.
